Sažetak

A case of an 8-year-old female Irish Setter is described. The animal was presented at the Clinic for Internal Diseases, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Zagreb, with a history of episodic seizures. Based on a high insulin concentration (316.64 pmol/l) and the concurrent presence of severe hypoglycaemia (1.8 mmol/l) a diagnosis of pancreatic beta cells tumour, or insulinoma, was postulated. Therapy was unsuccessful and after three weeks the owners decided to euthanise the dog. Necropsy revealed a right pancreatic lobe tumor that was pathohistologically confirmed as beta cell tumor, or insulinoma.
